If the quota enable and snapshot creation ioctls are called concurrently
we can get into a deadlock where the task enabling quotas will deadlock
on the fs_info->qgroup_ioctl_lock mutex because it attempts to lock it
twice, or the task creating a snapshot tries to commit the transaction
while the task enabling quota waits for the former task to commit the
transaction while holding the mutex. The following time diagrams show how
both cases happen.
First scenario:
CPU 0 CPU 1
btrfs_ioctl()
btrfs_ioctl_quota_ctl()
btrfs_quota_enable()
mutex_lock(fs_info->qgroup_ioctl_lock)
btrfs_start_transaction()
btrfs_ioctl()
btrfs_ioctl_snap_create_v2
create_snapshot()
--> adds snapshot to the
list pending_snapshots
of the current
transaction
btrfs_commit_transaction()
create_pending_snapshots()
create_pending_snapshot()
qgroup_account_snapshot()
btrfs_qgroup_inherit()
mutex_lock(fs_info->qgroup_ioctl_lock)
--> deadlock, mutex already locked
by this task at
btrfs_quota_enable()
Second scenario:
CPU 0 CPU 1
btrfs_ioctl()
btrfs_ioctl_quota_ctl()
btrfs_quota_enable()
mutex_lock(fs_info->qgroup_ioctl_lock)
btrfs_start_transaction()
btrfs_ioctl()
btrfs_ioctl_snap_create_v2
create_snapshot()
--> adds snapshot to the
list pending_snapshots
of the current
transaction
btrfs_commit_transaction()
--> waits for task at
CPU 0 to release
its transaction
handle
btrfs_commit_transaction()
--> sees another task started
the transaction commit first
--> releases its transaction
handle
--> waits for the transaction
commit to be completed by
the task at CPU 1
create_pending_snapshot()
qgroup_account_snapshot()
btrfs_qgroup_inherit()
mutex_lock(fs_info->qgroup_ioctl_lock)
--> deadlock, task at CPU 0
has the mutex locked but
it is waiting for us to
finish the transaction
commit
So fix this by setting the quota enabled flag in fs_info after committing
the transaction at btrfs_quota_enable(). This ends up serializing quota
enable and snapshot creation as if the snapshot creation happened just
before the quota enable request. The quota rescan task, scheduled after
committing the transaction in btrfs_quote_enable(), will do the accounting.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
